* Family
Posted on February 27th, 2007 by lane. Filed under Daily Life.
I call home once in a while and found out just yesterday that my mom’s old student who is at 30 yrs old *( my mom started teaching super young) is getting married.Thing is, she tutored me when i was in primary 6 to sec 3 for chinese, was the worst tuition teacher in the world but strangely enough taught me valuable lessons in cleaning my room. Okay, i know my room is still messy at times, but i try right.
So, she visited my family and they tell her i am alraedi married( no formal event) and she gets a shock of her life. HAHAHAHA
I beat my tuition teacher to getting married.
Then i speak to my dad who always feeds me words of wisdom that never seem to leave my mind.
Lane : DAD, u are everywhere i go leh. Even here in Germany
DAD: Why leh?
Lane: Got bloody construction work going on my place , left right and centre. SO noisy
Dad: what is life without construction lane?
Lane: more peacful
Dad: no, dead
My family is wacky like that. My father has a renovation itch. It happens every twice a year, usually during my exams.
He gets his workers, who by now know that My dad is a *eccentric guy, to fix parts of the house. Yes. My room has a pole in the middle of the centre and i dont feel like divulging the reason for this, just that it looks like i have a weird pole dancing room. A fugly pole dancing room. Hahaha. Joke k.Not.
Miss my dad
Then theres my Mom. Shes the coolest mother in the world.
If you dont come home or come home late and u are not her son, usually she cant be bothered. She never second guesses or calls you incessently to ask about your whereabouts. She doesnt nag . She does however show she cares in tons other ways.
She made my marriage a blissful one by blessing my decision. She has been there from the wedding dress issue to me irritating her about sending St ives to Germany. I swear Germany is like old Japan, super isolationist. Yea, but my mom has been a stronghold and will always be. As manly as she can be in terms of character, shes the best mom.
Ha, i never knew the value of a mother till i got married and became a maid.
Enough SOB….
PS update…

* Too much Time
Posted on February 26th, 2007 by lane. Filed under Daily Life.

2nd version of the same thing:

Both were taken from a picture of the English Garden near where we stay. Needless to say they are pretty yucky when blown up. This is what happens when i do not follow a photoshop tutorial and use my own “skills.” Some parts are overstretched/not proportionally stretched. huk huk huk.
I need lots of practise. Where’s LeMas?
* Expensive
Posted on February 26th, 2007 by lane. Filed under Uncategorized.
The doctor wait was around an hour half and the cost was a grand total of 140 sing. Its unbelievable.
I was told that i was fine but i sure as heck didnt feel fine or good or feel any recovery at all. Panadol been my best fren and right now i am actually lying in bed half the time.
Been fiddling with photoshop a bit. Its easy when i have expert help nearby and i actually created some goffy stuff. When i get better and can design my own stuff without the help of tutorials i will be ecstatic!
|Off to bed to rest.
* Pain and Sickness
Posted on February 23rd, 2007 by lane. Filed under Daily Life.
Yup, i hate being overseas. I really do.
I have a splitting headache, ear ache, jaw ache, chills. I have to do the chores cause i have no helper here and i hate to see things so messy. No i am fine with messiness. Its the other half that is not.
I really want to go to a doctor but they are so hard to see and such a chore.
Sometimes i think i am so scared of what i wish for. I wished so much for a chance to take a break from studying and true enough i become a housewife with a degree and dip. This doesnt make any sense.
I think the stupid Ghost Rider made feel worse.
Throughout my life, sickness has accompanied me no matter where. From a baby with asthma to an adult with panic attacks and horrible cramps. Sometimes i wonder what it feels like to be free of so much physical pain.
I just wana go home and let my parents take care of me.
I wana lie on my bed and be sick in peace and not give a damn about my food, my room, going to a damn doc
I know i am going to regret this stupid entry but i am sick of being a housewife. I HATE IT but of course i am grateful.. u know what i mean.
Going to lie my exploding head on my pillow.
Take Care.
* Ghost Riders
Posted on February 23rd, 2007 by lane. Filed under Daily Life.
leMas and I have fallen into a routine.
He gets up by 6, scrambles his way to work, i get up and do some blogging/ surfing and then HH chores and cooking.
Then he comes home by 4 and we get other HH chores settled by 7 pm
Now for the good part. We watch a movie on his laptop. Dont get me wrong. I am not so old fashioned that watching a movie gives me wonderous chills, its more like, the closest thing we get to being in a cinema with a BLoody English show.
So, last night we watched Ghost Riders.
This show is not funny, intelligent, scary or coherent.
This is the kinda show i would give to a someone i didnt like.
First of all, the younger guy who played Nicholas Cage’s younger self ( JohnnyBlaze) , looked so much like Tom Cruise. And then he grows to look like Nicholas Cage? Er…thats wrong. Eva Mendas Character as Johnny Blaze love interest was like a Sophisticated young lady who grew up to be this really * i’m so black* news reporter whose still madly in love with Johnny Blaze.
Than, Johnny Blaze made a pact with the devil and morphs into the Ghosts Rider and blazes up and down the city and is VISIBLE to human beings.
Okay,it may sound reasonable but not when the police chases JB around town and up a building, fully aware that his stupid all bones head is on fire. They then try to take Mr Demonic Looking Firey Skeleton down with guns. Human beings Versus the Devil’s own bounty hunter….yea guns are going to kill it.
The Plot couldnt get any worse right?
JB sold his sold his soul to the devil and the devil wants JB to kill his son. Yea, the devil has a son. Why cant the devil kill him himself ? Okie, why does the devil want to kill off his own devilsh son? Cause his own flesh and blood wants this letter scroll thingy( aka son is more evil than the Devil but what do you expect right!!) that was apparently stolen and hidden by an EX Ghost Rider. Beats me why the Devil couldnt catch up with his EX Ghost Rider to take back this powerful evil scroll thingy. He is the DEVIL right? aiyah…. i need a breather. This show wasted 2 hours of my life( yea i speak for u too LeMas)
The end made me vomit in my throat. Johnny Blaze kills the Devil’s son and than the Devil wants to give him back his soul and Johnny Blaze refuses cause he loves his new harley davidson skeleton on fire NIGHT LOOK.

5 stars for being the Worst show ever.
* Save the Animals
Posted on February 22nd, 2007 by lane. Filed under Uncategorized.
It hurts me to say this but i gotta make the switch. Loreal the cosmetic giant uses animal testing.It shouldnt come as a shock but choosing to live in the dark about all this animal cruelty issues doesnt make me a better person.
Some laws actually make it compulsory to test on animals before testing it on humans.
Companies such as P&G claim to be investing in alt. testing methods.
Some brands worth avoiding:
http://www.caringconsumer.com/resources_companies.asp
Yea, its a small start. These are major brands and some produce my FAV products. If i buy from them that makes me just like them.Yea, dont be stupid i tell myself, thousand other companies probably do the same and we just dont know, so boycotting a few doesnt really make a difference right? Na, it does. I cant be a selfless consumer and an ignorant one too.
one day i will go veg too ( fish i still want)… dont worry, i wont force u into this LeMas!
* karneval
Posted on February 21st, 2007 by lane. Filed under Daily Life.
“Karneval is associated with festivals of the Christian church (wild partying before Lent begins). However, it goes back to pagan times, and was a way of driving out the evil spirits of winter and encouraging the coming of spring and good crops. Ugly masks worn for this purpose are still worn in carnival festivals in southern Germany. Karneval can be traced back to pagan Roman festivals, which may explain why Köln and Mainz, two ancient cities with Roman history, have such big carnivals. In the Middle Ages, Karneval gave the people a break from the tightly structured class system, as they were able to hide their social background behind imaginative masks and costumes. Poor people were able to mix with all other levels of society and share fun with them. In those days people would dress up as knights, damsels and even priests, as a way of making fun of them.”
Yup, leMas can sum up the above in one short sentence. Karneval is just another excuse for Germans to Drink.
HAhaha you sould see how crazy the ppl get when they are drunk. There was a bunch of boys dressed as rabbits leap frogging over each other on the street. Old folks were donned in awesome costumes and the craziest looking outfits too. Catwomen, batman, cinderella, toilet paper man, watering can men etc…





The streets were filthy and scattered glass was everywhere. If you wear your typical Singaporean gear here( slippers), its almost suicide. It can be a bit dangerous as everyone is throwing their bottles everywhere and people are so disgustlingly drunk. Alcohol helps to keep the Germans sense of humour intact. CHEERS!
